WolverineGuy Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Amen to that! Bodybuilders tend to know more about what everything going into your body does to your body.

Rich67 Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 If you are morbidly obese, a low/no carb diet can certainly help whittle away the pounds. However, for the people who just want to lose 5-10 pounds and maintain muscle mass, low carb diets aren't great. You need carbs and fats for energy. Eat a diet that's carb heavy in the morning, then carb free/low in the evening. Try to exercise on an empty stomach (immediately upon waking or before dinner). If you deprive your body of carbs too much, you will eventually feel run down, and can have physical problems (Just ask Atkins...ooppss...he's dead). It's easy to lose weight... just control your calories. Eat 6 small portions of meals a day, avoid sweets, eat veggies, fruit (moderately) and lean meat, as well as non-fat dairy. You'll lose weight, be healthier, and still have energy to go to work during the day. Mixed Martial Artist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krunchyfrogg Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 If you deprive your body of carbs too much, you will eventually feel run down, and can have physical problems (Just ask Atkins...ooppss...he's dead). The guy died of head trauma. Not only is your comment completely disrespectful, it's very ignorant. As is the following quote:It's easy to lose weight. Yeah, maybe for you.

Rich67 Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 You're right, Crunchy, I do stand corrected on the death of Atkins. I did not research and just heard "rumor" about the cause of his death. I do apologize. And the fact that I said it is easy to lose weight is not an incorrect statement. It is as simple to lose it as it is to gain it. If you take in more calories per day that you burn, you will gain weight. If you take in less, you will lose it. Eat less, exercise more= lose weight. EASY is a relative term. I don't know if you expect that you can simply take a pill and sit around watching TV all day and get shredded. THAT is easy. But that's not what I meant by EASY. EASY, relatively speaking, means that with a little discipline, exercise and good eating habits, the pounds can come off easily. It's difficult for those people who have no understanding of proper diet and exercise habits; things that a good percentage of martial artists should have. If I offended you by that statement, oh well. I may not be as politically correct as you want me to be. Mixed Martial Artist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceLee Posted February 8, 2004 Author Share Posted February 8, 2004 All right, misunderstanding... let's continue with the good information. Oh yeah, thanks for that bodybuilding.com site, it did help me out and give me a lot of information. The meaning of life... is to live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krunchyfrogg Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 It's not a matter of being politically correct or not, Rich67. It's a matter of being rude. You were incorrect, twice, in your original post. There's no need to apologize about the death of Dr. Atkins, you didn't offend me. The only thing that did offend me was the comment about how "easy" it is to lose weight. From a comment like that, I'd be more than willing to bet that you've never had a struggle with your weight, because for most people, it isn't that easy. After one hits a certain age, their metabolism naturally slows down, and unless you start exercising more than you used to, and take in less than you used to, you'll naturally gain weight. I've conquered my weight problem. It's behind me now. My comments at the beginning of this thread were directed towards the person logged in under the username "Bruce Lee," so that he might learn from my experiance. Stick to what you know, you'll come off looking a whole lot more intelligent. If all you know is how to impose your opinion on others, without caring how it makes them feel, then keep your mouth shut.

WolverineGuy Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 In a sense, he's right. There's nothing complicated about losing weight. However...putting the not complicated theory into practice is a different story. Factors such as metabolism, willpower, and genetics (which sadly play a huge role) can seriously undermine even the best laid out diet.

krunchyfrogg Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Thanks, Wolverine. Your calm demeanor both helped me out and got the point across that I could not.
